located in Montréal, Canada
design proposal from 2021

The building consists of a series of three industrial suites facing Henri-Bourassa Boulevard East in Montreal. Each suite includes a front-facing representation area, with offices and a showroom, and a rear work area, with a workshop and a warehouse. The work areas are connected to the rear yard through garage doors. This yard is the only outdoor space on the property and includes parking and storage. The remainder of the site is dedicated to landscaping and pedestrian circulation.
The exterior of the building is a simple volume, featuring large glazed areas on the facades visible from the public road. The opaque sections of the facades are clad in a combination of masonry and metal panels.
This project is part of a positive trend in the east end of Montreal for industrial buildings that emphasize high-quality construction and materials, combined with generous green spaces. The result is more pleasant urban environments and developments with a reduced environmental impact.
